ABOUT salt"

LET your speech be always with
grace, seasoned with salt"
When you give your cellar its spring
cleaning, add a little copperas-water
and salt to the white-wash.
For relief from heart burn or dyspep-
STA, drink a little cold water in which has
been dissolved a t%easpoonful of salt.
Sprinkling salt on the tops and at the
bottoms of garden walls is said to keep
snails from climbing up or down.
For weeds in the grass, put a pinch or
w of salt in the middle of each, and I'M
less a shower washes it off, it will kill
the weeds.
Ink stains on linen can be taken out if
the stain is first washed in strong salt
and water and then sponged with lemon
juice.
In a basin of water, salt, of course,
falls to the bottom; SO never soak salt
fish with the skin down, as the salt will
fall to the skin and remain there.
For stains on the hands, nothing is
better thar a little salt with enough
lemon Juice to moisten it rubbed on the
spots and then washed off in clear water.
Salt and mustard, a t%easpoonful of
each, followed with sweet oil, melted
butter, or milk, is the antidote for Fow-
ler's Solution, white precipitate OF
arsenic.
For weeds in %pavements or gravel
walks, make a strong brine of coarse salt
and boiling water; put the brine in a
sprinkling-can and water the weeds thor.
oughly, being careful not to let any OF
the brine get on the grass, or it will kill
it, too.
If a chimney or flue catch fire, close all
windows and doors first, then hang 6
blanket in front of the CRATE to exclude
all air. Water should never be poured
down the chimney, as it spoils the car
pets. Coarse salt thrown down the flut
is much better.
Salt and water boils ut a higher TEN
p%erature thar water alone, so a little salt
should be added to the water in which al
vegetables are cooked; even if the re
ceipts calls for more seasoning at tn,
last. A t%easpoonful of salt to a quart o
water is the right proportion.-[Goo

was so successful at this itinerant business
that he decided to give up the ministry, for
which he had educated himself, and go into it.
With his brother he established an Office
on Nassau street, New York, started a
chronological journal, a water cure journal
and an illustrated joural, and wrote
numerous books besides. Very soon his house
had a literature Of its own, peculiar to the
tastes and beliefs Of its head. He became the
founder of practical phrenology in this
country. Previously q few had read the
works of Gall, Spurzheim and Combe, as
theories on mental science, but still fewer I'M

and in its long career it spent small fortunes

died down, and many Of the younger

TWO KINDS OF FLOUR.

The difference between the patent-pro-
hess and the old-process methods of grind
NO the wheat into flour is often a matter
BIZ question with housekeepers. There
ian be no doubt that the best flour for
everv family in the land is the cheapest.
The best grade of flour made by the
patent roller-process, invented by Haxall,
S now the best flour for general use III
he family. 1t makes the sweetest, light
est bread and rolls and is always best III
all processes of cooking where yeast is
used. 1t does not, however, make as
delicate pastry and cake as the old-process
flour and if a great deal of pastry n
cake is made in the family it is wise to
keep a barrel of old-process hour on hand
for this purpose. Iii extremely difficult
to get genuine old-process flour i'll the
|cities. We have heard members of the
-four exchange declare there was no old
process flour in the market and practi-
cally it forms no feature in the market.
1t is always used, however, by fancy cake
bakers and French p~astry-cooks, who
probably order it specially for their W
use. 1t is customary for ordinary grocers
in the cities to keep inferior grades of
pa%tent-process flour and dispose OF them
as old-process or st. Louis flour. The
difference between genuine pastry or old
process and new-process or bread flour is
easily preceptible to an expert bread
maker. The new-process flour is finer,
lighter, more ~powdery; the o~ld-proceSs
is more granular and keeps its shape
when pressed in the palm of the hand.
There is very little difference in the price
of the best grades of wheat ground by
either process. By the patent-process
the spring wheat, which was formerly
considered of little value, is ground into
finer. sweeter flour than can be the winter
wheat, though both are now ground by
patent roller. Old-process flour of the
best grade can only be made of winter
wheat.-[Tribune.

JOHN RUSKIN INSANE.
THE GREAT ENGLISH ART CRITIC,
PHILOSOPHER AND WRITER.

His Splendid Intellect q wreck-His
M~alady-His Art Treasures-His Views
on Political Economy.
The great Ruskin is insane. The artist,
critic and philosopher that was, is now a men
tai wreck, under the vigilant care of nurses
for the mad. For some time a rumor has
been flying about London to the effect that
John Ruskin's retirement from literary work
was due to q mental breakdown. And now
the rumor has crystallized into a well known
fact. The master of English prose is now a
baby in intellect.
The life of so eminent a man is known to
almost everybody. He was born in London
in the year 1919. His father, a S%cotchman,
was n successful wine merchant, and left to
his son a fortune Of $1,000 a year. On the
death of his mother this fortune was in
creased considerably. Thus, from the begin
ming of his career, he was able to crafty his
artistic and literary tastes without fear Of the
bugbear of poverty. His parents were de-
voted to him. He has given an account of
his childhood and their care In training him.
He records that his mother even went to Ok
ford and staid there during term time.
Ruskin is best known as an art critic, but
he is also famous for his writings on political
economy, in which he excoriates the sordid,
money seeking tendencies of the age. He
has been called the head of a school of self
denial, honest art and genuine culture.
Mr.. Ruskin was graduated in 1S42 at Ok
ford, having studied at Christ Church col
lege, and Immediately afterward devoted
himself to the study of art, particularly
water color drawing.

Romantic Story From Army Life.

An army officer Is quoted as telling
a most romantic story Of brother
officer, who graduated with him from
West Point many years ago. Shortly
afterward this friend married pretty
girl, and for time things went
smoothly. but John Barleycorn, who
has killed more soldiers than have
ever fallen in battle, got the best of
him and he went to the dogs rapidly.
Finally ethrew up his position in the
army, deserted his young wife and for
yenrs nothing was heard of him. At
last news came to the poor woman
that the worthless wretch was dead,
and after a time she married another
officer and they moved out to his sta
tion at one of the far Western posts.
In the meantime it seems that her
first husband was not dead, but, after
years OF debauchery and wandering,
reformed. He then began to make in
quires for the woman he had deserted.
Nothing was known OF her, and after
along and iruitless search he was forced
to the conclusion that she had given
up the struggle. He came to Wash
ington, where, through the assistance
ofsome influential friends, he procured
an appointment in the army. Then
believing himself free he married again
and took his wife to the frontier post
to which he was ordered-the same Mt
which his first wife was living. The
meeting, the shock OF mutual recogni-
ton, the deep shame OF the terrible
situation, is something to whichno pen
can do justice. What were they to
do? The question hasnot ) ct reached
n satisfactory settlement.

A Good One OH Blackburn.

In Washington no man has a great

than Senator Blackburn of Kentucky.
He is considered u fountain OF words
and oratory. Congressman Green OF
North Carolina tells story OF how
Assistant Postmaster General Adlai
E. Stevenson OF Illinois hit off this
accomplishment at a banquet where
they were both present. Reminis-
cences were IN order, and Blackburn
had been striking ouu right and left
with Jokes at everybody at tue table.
Stevenson started out to relate an in
cident OF his college days, when Black
burn and he were students together,
and said: "rhe senator will tell you
that he remembers we'll the duel be-
tween two OF our fellow students in
which We acted as seconds" Black
burn interlected remark that he re-
membered perfectly well, and Steven
son continued: 1.-The two young fel-
lows had got into dispute which
they saw no other way OF settling ex-
cept by the code OF honor. We went
out to the field OF battle. We posted
our men. You remember, Black
burn, said he, chow you paced off
the ground and how we stood the fel-
lows up?" "Oh, yes," said Black.
burn, 'I remember very WE'LL" Then
Stevenson resumed the thread OF his
story. "Well, we had the fellows
pistol in hand ready for use just as
the sun was shooting it's rays up over
the hills in the east. Blackburn SEEM
ed to think it was q proper thing to
say something, and he stepped out in
front OF our little party to make d
few remarks. 1t is mournful to think
OF the results OF that duel" Here
Stevenson paused for moment, when
somebody at the table called out,
"Were they both killed" NO" was
the quick response, "when Mr.. Black
burn got through it was too dark for
them to fire" Amid the uproar OF
laughter that ensued the senator
tried to protest that he did not re-
member that part OF the duel. But
the jury OF diners passed the verdict
that he had not proved an alibi and
that he stood convicted on his gem
eral reputation.-Ne York Tribune.

that it might not be riddled, saying
that his coat was guilty DINO treason.
The firing party numbered ninety, and
yet my husband was left unscratched

advanced to give him the coup degrace
